Truro and Penwith College offers a range of educational choices, including full-time 16-19 programmes, apprenticeships and adult learning, supported by modern resources and inspirational teaching.
Truro College is a purpose-built campus with 13 main buildings and offers excellent facilities designed around the needs of our students. Penwith College in Penzance was created following a £30million redevelopment incorporating historic buildings with modern resources. In 2023 the College launched the STEM and Health Skills Centre in Bodmin to deliver specialist courses in Engineering, Health and Digital for east and north Cornwall.
